These are perpetual licenses with updates included until the end of 2021. Indies can still purchase Painter and Designer (not Alchemist aka Sampler) for Linux on Steam. Switching to Windows is not an option for me as I have a highly customized home studio that was designed to run on Linux.

All this just to preserve access to one of my main work tools on Linux… Nice! In fact, to preserve access to the Linux builds I would now need an Adobe TEAM plan, which costs 4X my current subscription I have with Substance legacy. It turns out that with the Adobe transition, Linux builds will no longer be available to Indie (“Individual” in Adobe jargon) subscription users. I have been a Substance Linux user for a long time. The Linux version is no longer available to Indie subscription users.Īfter researching for the past 24 hours and chatting with several Adobe and Substance people, here are my findings. These are priced at $49.99 per month for individuals and $99.99 per month for teams, but there’s currently a 20% discount off those prices. The new Substance 3D Collection plans include Substance Stager and Modeler plus more assets and storage. The original Substance tools plus 30 downloads of assets and 100gb of storage are available under the Substance 3D Texturing plan for $19.99 per month. New 3d Assets are also available in addition to Substance source materials.Īlong with the redesign comes new adobe rental licensing. A second application called Substance 3D Modeler is a sculpting tool usable on a desktop and in VR, but so far it’s only available as a public beta. The bigger news is the addition of Substance 3D Stager, a new virtual studio program designed to assemble and render scenes with the ability to place cameras, lights and add and adjust materials. Substance Alchemist has been renamed Substance Sampler which perhaps more clearly describes its intended usage as a way to create textures from photographic sources and remix them. All the apps have been given the Adobe logo treatment in a new green colour designed to demarcate the 3D apps. Adobe has announced an overhaul of its Substance suite of tools, aligning the branding and subscription offering with the rest of its products.
